Dance in the trees, listen to chocolate, and experience mindfulness, yoga, and coaching -- in a garden, at the beach, in a yurt, and amidst the redwoods of Muir Woods. In this episode, we share the why of the mindful practices we explore at the Mindful Healers Connect in Nature Retreat.  Understand the body scan, and appreciate the release and freedom offered in mindful and restorative yoga. Learn about attentive listening and how coaching can help you feel better.  Explore ways to bring fun into mindfulness. What did those who attended this year have to say? “The retreat provided safe connection, sharing, and nourishment for the mind, body and soul. I left the retreat with probably the lowest cortisol levels and muscle tension than I've had in years. I'm deeply grateful for the experiences and connection and tools to continue in my journey of personal wellness". “I felt so recharged after taking time to take care of myself.” “It was incredible!“ “Nature, yoga, mindfulness focus, great mini-coaching, intention setting, sharing with others, playful attitudes, impressive colleagues, the chance to encourage each other and be inspired, and great snacks and meals.” “I have tremendous gratitude for the opportunity and I'm so glad to have done this for myself, my personal relationships, and patients.” Until next year: Join us in the Mindful Healthcare Collective on Facebook.   Join Ni-Cheng at www.awakenbreath.org, and at www.mindful.org. Join Jessie for the Nourish and Transform Retreat at Sagrada or to Honor Diastole at Pie Ranch. All of Jessie’s retreats are different. Choose one or come to all. Nourish & Transform at Sagrada is focused on coaching and nourishment. It is an all-inclusive experience with twice-daily yoga, 8 hours of group coaching, and an opportunity for 1:1 coaching. Honoring Diastole at Pie Ranch is a 1-day retreat that is about sustainability for you and the Earth. It includes a farm tour, reflective writing, and a luxuriously presented seed-to-table chef-made lunch on the farm. Honoring Diastole at Pie Ranch can also be created “to order” for your local groups or team. Several local practices have taken us up on this and Gail and I would love to support, heal and nourish your team too. *Nothing in this episode is medical advice.
